“I am gracious and great, God without beginning/I am maker unmade, all might is in me;/I am life, and way unto wealth-winning,/I am foremost and first, as I bid shall it be.”
These lines exploit parallelism, through the repetitive phrase (I am), which accentuates God’s mystical potency. God’s origination is transcendental; hence mortals cannot effortlessly deconstruct it. He autonomously controls all the facets of life; hence, it would be impracticable to amend his determination.
“Out! Out! I go wood for woe, my wit is all went now/All our food is but filth we find us beforn. /We that were bielded in bliss, in bale are we burnt now-”
The descent is degrading because it obliges the angels to consume filth, which is incongruous with the bliss they savored before falling. Moreover, the fall emphasizes the misplacement of the astuteness which God had conferred to them.
“Yah, Eve, to me take tent;/take heed and thou shalt hear/What that the matter meant/He moved on the manner./To eat thereof he you defend/I know it well, this was his skill.”
Satan persuasively counters the gullible Eve’s argument about the upshot of passing (which would be assured once they devoured the ‘prohibited fruit.’) According to Satan, the fruit is strategic in unearthing God’s acumen. Subsequently, Eve submits to the Devil’s manipulation which culminates in her and Adam’s discreditable descent. Believing Satan costs them the garden and their connection with God.
